Photosynthesis:
Photosynthesis is the process of synthesizing organic food substances in the presence of sunlight by the chlorophyll using inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide, and water as raw materials.

The glucose molecule is stored as starch in the plant cells which can be later on consumed to derive nutrition and energy.
The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is utilized to sustain life on earth.
